# This table contains braille codes for a part of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA, 2005).
# WARNING! The IPA symbols in this table might conflict with other tables. (e.g. conflict: θ
#          (Unicode 03B8) is the greek letter theta, french braille code is different between greek
#          and phonetic)
# WARNING! This table is not intended to be included in other tables. The symbol definitions that
#          are safe to include in other tables are collected in IPA-unicode-range.uti.

#--------NOTES--------
# This table includes:
#   - Symbols defined in IPA-unicode-range.uti
#   - Characters include in latinLetterDef6Dots.uti table (a, b, c...). 
#   - Some current symbols (e.g. point '.')
#   - 'Phonetic and Phonemic Enclosures'
# Some lines are commented for reference:
#   - Tricky character compositions, see end of 'Tones and Word Accents'
# Some IPA unicode symbols are not present in the reference document so there is no braille equivalent.
#   Example: \X02D4 for 'MODIFIER LETTER UP TACK',
#            see
